Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 17

Li Ye chuckled, the point is not to pay taxes, I'm afraid it was Tian Lingzi's idea, this Chen Jingxuan has a big face.

He also showed his meritorious deeds and beheaded Wang Jian's five generals and [-] soldiers.

Adding Wang Jian's wife and children, and all eighteen generations of ancestors, there is no more than 2.At this time, Wang Jian hadn't matured yet, with a maximum of [-] horses.

Xichuan was plundered by these 2 horses, this Chen Jingxuan is also a waste.

Chen Jingxuan was the elder brother of Emperor Xizong's favored eunuch Tian Lingzi. He used to be a cake seller in Wu Dalang's business.

This action also saved Tian Lingzi's life.

Tian Lingzi did too many bad things, was dismissed by Tang Xizong, and was not tolerated by the princes of the world. In the end, he had no choice but to take refuge in his brother Chen Jingxuan and live on his last breath.

As for Wang Jian, he was a ruthless man, talented and powerful, and according to the normal historical process, Wang Jian finally wiped out the eastern and western Sichuan, and the Shannan West Road, and established the former Shu.

According to historical records, Wang Jian was diligent, thrifty, generous, kind to the common people, and lenient in governance.

Wang Jian and Han Jian, both called "Second Base", were originally the commanders of one of the five capitals of Tang Xizong's forbidden army, and the godsons of the great eunuch Tian Lingzi.

After Tian Lingzi handed over the military power of the imperial army to Yang Fugong, Yang Fugong didn't believe Wang Jian and the other five, so he sent all the five commanders who accompanied him to the five capitals to serve as governors of the prefecture.

That's how Wang Jianli's position as governor of Lizhou came about.

To Li Ye, Wang Jian was a dangerous person. After he gained a firm foothold in Sichuan, he immediately sent troops to occupy the Jiange, closing Xichuan's connection with the imperial court. From then on, the imperial court could not get a grain of tax from Xichuan.

This is not the main thing.

The main reason is that the imperial court lost such a large rear in Shu, and completely lost its strategic depth.

Although what Li Maozhen said was blunt, it was not false.

"Xichuan is lost. If something happens in Chang'an, the Emperor of Tang will have nowhere to go even if he wants to escape."

This result, Li Ye is definitely not willing to see, Xi Chuan, he will take it...

Heyang
What the Hedong cavalry is best at is cavalry impact.

As long as it is on flat ground, it is the world of Hedong.

If the infantry wants to fight against the cavalry, they can only mount more horses to resist the attack speed of the cavalry, and then use archers to shoot.

Zhu Wen is not afraid of the cavalry, what he is afraid of is that the cavalry will not fight him.

If Li Cunxiao wanted to run away, his tens of thousands of troops could only watch helplessly.

How can a person with two legs run faster than a person with four legs?

The power of the Hedong cavalry shocked the world.

Zhu Wen suffered a great loss. At that time, he was still a small general in Huang Chao's army.

At that time, Li Keyong led the cavalry from the east of the river, like chopping melons and vegetables, hacking and killing wantonly in Huang Chao's army, no one could beat him.

The memory is still vivid even now.

At that time, Zhu Wen thought that if he became popular, he must build such a strong army.

So since Zhu Wen came to Xuanwu as a feudal vassal, Zhu Wen has used various means, even if he was cheated, to buy all the horses and equipment to train his own cavalry.

Over the past few years, it has been quite effective, and I have saved more than [-] rides.

Ding Hui's [-] soldiers, plus Ge Congzhou's [-] cavalry.On the other side, Li Han has more than [-] soldiers, and Li Cunxiao has [-] Hedong cavalry.

Zhu Wen felt a little bit pained, he was assured of the strength of his army, but... after this battle, how many of these troops would be left...

…………

Li Hanzhi is also a veteran general in the army. He has been in battle for a long time. In this situation, he immediately made a decision.

He also wanted to escape, but he knew he couldn't escape, no matter how the infantry ran, they couldn't escape the cavalry.

However, Li Hanzhi was not in a panic. He still didn't know that Li Keyong had led the main force westward to Luoyang. He thought that Li Keyong had the Hedong cavalry. Dare to be so big.

At this time Li Cunxiao had arrived on the battlefield.

On the high slope, the war horse neighed. Li Cunxiao held the reins and looked at the battlefield in front of him. The Ding Club was fighting fiercely with Li Hanzhi. Ge Congzhou's cavalry had already entered the rear formation. Judging by the situation, Li Hanzhi might not be able to last long. .

"Soldiers, come with me!"

Li Cunxiao took the lead, and the morale of the army was greatly shaken. He rushed forward bravely and went straight to Ge Cong and Zhou Shuai's banner.

"Reject the horse, reject the horse!"

Ding Hui was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the shield soldiers to be in front, and the spearmen to be in the back, to assemble the archers, but Li Cunxiao didn't take him as a target at all, and went straight to Ge Congzhou's cavalry army.

Ge Congzhou also hastily ordered his troops to regroup.

At this moment, Li Hanzhi's pressure was greatly reduced, and the morale of the soldiers under him was greatly shocked when they saw the reinforcements. Li Hanzhi understood that the time for the decisive battle had come, so he hurriedly mobilized all his troops and joined the battlefield. Even he himself rushed to kill with his own guards .

Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, fifty steps...

Li Cunxiao waved his whip, the horse galloped in pain, and the five thousand Hedong cavalry were like a sledgehammer, hitting Ge Cong and Zhou Dajun hard.

It was like this, five years ago, it was like this, Li Keyong at that time was like this, killing Huang Chao's soldiers on their backs.

Ge Congzhou immediately saw the gap between his own soldiers and horses and Hedong soldiers and horses. The weapons could not keep up, the riding skills could not keep up, and the bravery could not keep up.

The Hedong army is well versed in the way of cavalry, and they charge only to find gaps in their own cavalry. Basically, they don't need to slash. Was shaken off his hands.

Moreover, the Hedong soldiers had heavy armor on their arms and chests. After this round of confrontation, not a few of their own sides were cut off from their horses, and the Hedong Jin soldiers suffered little loss.

Seeing that the army formation seemed to be in defeat, Ge Congzhou was shocked.

It's urgent.

"Soldiers, hurry up and lead your troops forward, and don't let the soldiers and horses from the east of the river have the opportunity to charge."

Ge Cong Zhou saw the key point at a glance. The Hedong army was strong in charging, weak and lacking in troops, and there were many people on his own side. As long as he stayed close to the Hedong cavalry and didn't give them a chance to move and charge, his side had no chance of winning.

On the other side, Li Cunxiao rushed left and right, and at this moment he also felt that Zhu Wen's men were difficult to deal with. These soldiers were stubborn.

Ge Cong and Zhou Shuai's flag were in front, and there were so many people in front of him that he couldn't rush to kill, and even the bowmen kept shooting, and the soldiers around him fell off their horses from time to time.

"Go east, go east!"

Li Cunxiao waved his sword and unfurled the flag, all the soldiers followed the general and rushed out of Ge Congzhou's formation, Li Cunxiao felt as if his arm had been bitten by a mosquito, and only after a hundred steps out of the formation did he realize that his arm had been hit by an arrow.

He didn't care, broke the arrow handle, threw it on the ground, waved his saber, and shouted: "All soldiers follow me to charge!"

…………

Seeing Li Cunxiao charging left and right, charging back and forth, Ge Congzhou was affectionate and solemn. Although he still had 8000 to [-] troops, he couldn't stand Li Cunxiao's tossing back and forth, so he hurriedly said left and right.

"At the end of the crossbow, it is impossible to penetrate Lu Jin. Li Cunxiao sent troops to attack from a distance, but did not spare any effort. There were repeated conflicts, and the men and horses were exhausted. They would not be able to last long. All the soldiers gathered troops and horses, gathered the commanders, and waited for the Jin soldiers to be exhausted, and then attacked them. , must be broken!"
